I clicked through to Nexis' wiki link. I see where it says 120,450 (supposedly not including the Norristown line), however when I click on the citation and go to the actual SEPTA source document for that, the number 120,450 does not appear anywhere in the document. It's 76 pages long and mostly text, so I admit I haven't read all of it, but running a search for that number does not produce any results.

The Philadelphia trolley system is listed in the 4th quarter 2011 APTA report as averaging 110.1 thousand weekday passengers in 2011. SEPTA ridership is down in 2012 for both the subway and trolley/light rail categories. The 120,450 figure is likely an older number.
The Boston Green Line has been the busiest light rail system in the US for many years, AFAIK.
